Returning to Klaip\u0117da<\/em>. It is the eleventh joint event at the gallery aimed to present and promote the artistic heritage of East Prussia through continued collaboration between The East Prussian Regional Museum (L\u00fcneburg, Germany) and the Lithuanian National Museum of Art.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea to hold an exhibition of Karl Eulenstein\u2019s work was inspired by an important gift of 15 paintings and books illustrated by the artist received by the Lithuanian National Museum of Art. The works were gifted by Ekkehard Hildebrandt, the son of one of the best friends of the artist on 19 May last year. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Karl Eulenstein is one of the most famous artists who came from Klaip\u0117da.\u00a0 He was born 25 August 1892, into a big family of a steamer captain. His German father and Lithuanian mother lived in a suburb of Did\u017eioji Vilt\u0117. The artist later recalled his childhood: \u2018We lived in Klaip\u0117da, on the shore of the lagoon, so close to water, and my impressions are still vivid and immediate, unforgettable indeed\u2019. In Klaip\u0117da, Karl worked for a merchant\u2019s office. In 1919, he enrolled into the Art Academy of Konigsberg and lived there after graduation before moving to Berlin. He retained links with his birthplace and visited the region of Klaip\u0117da, as a free artist, until the very summer of 1944. \u00a0As the war was drawing to an end, his workshop and his artwork got burned during the bombing of Berlin. He continued living and working from Berlin until his death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eulenstein\u2019s work is dominated by the motifs of the seafront and the nature of lagoon shores, by the views of his native Klaip\u0117da and scenes of simple fishermen\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr J\u00f6rn Barfod, a co-curator of the joint exhibition and expert on the heritage of East Prussia, thus describes the painter\u2019s work: \u2018Eulenstein succeeded in finding a new, independent visual language to depict the Klaip\u0117da region and the ancient motifs. &lt;\u2026&gt; His intense blue, red, yellow, occasionally, tender green or light grey are fascinating, yet the darkness and heaviness of prewar years keeps haunting every piece. \u00a0The colour black with simpler, but strong contours, occasionally looks almost flat and dominating. The artist was obviously influenced by the art of Emile Nolde and George Rouault. However, his artwork cannot be aligned precisely with one or another movement. Therefore, the terms of \u201cexpressionism\u201d or \u201clate expressionism\u201d fit his art only in a special, \u201ceulenstein\u2019s\u201d way.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Karl Eulenstein (1892\u20131981). Returning to Klaip\u0117da<\/em> features paintings from the high-quality collections by the East Prussia Regional Museum and The Lithuanian National Museum of Art. The paintings in tempera and watercolour, an occasional specimen of graphic art represent mostly the artist\u2019s postwar period, when he created memory pictures of his native Klaip\u0117da region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition co-curators: \u00a0Dr J\u00f6rn Barfod, Aurelija Malinauskait\u0117<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition coordinator: Aurelija Malinauskait\u0117<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Designer Loreta Uzdrait\u0117<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition sponsor:\u00a0 Klaip\u0117da City Municipality<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 5.30 p.m. on Friday, 29 September, Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art opens an international exhibition Karl Eulenstein (1892\u20131981).
